Propose forming Budget Committee as an extension of DSC business. History of Budget Committee.
Save time going through funding requests so that we may focus on the larger picture/advocating for students. Spending too much time on money matters-disappointing since it’s already January.
Actions:
- Campus Caucus/discussion: agreed to form Budget Committee
- Campus Caucused/discussion: agreed budget to review funding requests and RECOMMEND to DSC, do not have final or only approval. Would make sure paperwork and presentations are in order and will make recommendations based on the budget and preparedness of the groups submitting funding requests.
-Format:
-Work on consensus
-Voting members would comprise: 4 DSC campus representatives (one from each campus) and
4 ASPCC members(one from each campus). Two advisers and a dean will overlook the budget committee, but will not have voting rights, suggestions and advising similar to DSC meetings.
-Will report back at the next DSC meeting on progress and timeline.
-Nominations for Budget Committee Chair:
-Maricruz and Grace nominated.
-3/4 Campuses voted for Grace. Grace is now Chair of Budget Committee.

Thank you for being willing to work with me on the Budget Committee. I really hope that we can refine our processes to insure that we are a body that advocates for students and to allow ourselves time to be creative and innovative voices on behalf of students.
6.2 Cascade Campus Report Shannon Olive

Cover Oregon was present at Cascade in the fall 5 times. There were a total of 68 students registered majority of them qualified for Oregon Health Plan with leaving two who qualified for Cover Oregon. To become eligible for OHP you have to have a income of $16,000.00 or below and you qualify for no copays.
For Cover Oregon you have to have a income of $45,000.00 or below and you qualify for low reasonable premiums.
This was a great first experience to have Cover Oregon certified agents to be on campus to answer questions, to assist students with filling out the application, get info about website, ask question about premiums, and get registered. I'm planning on following up at the end of the month with the students either through email or phone to ask:
1. How was their experience?
2. Did they receive their benefits?
3. By having Cover Oregon coming to campus, did it benefit them?
If you're interested in having Cover Oregon come to your campus to register your students before March 31, 2014. You can reach Leslie Hickcox at 503-201-9743 or you can email her at lesliekay@MSN.com

General Campus Update: There has been lots of construction and innovation going on at southeast for the past year but I am proud to announce that we have finally opened the new Student Commons building for classes! One of the integral highlights of the new building is the new Answer Center. It’s a place where you can just walk right in and have all your questions answered with a simple conversation instead of hassling with long lines and appointments. It is another great example of systematic change done right. This is definitely a welcome change for students that tremendously adds a sense of community to the campus.
